Why sail this route

You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 3 countries over 9 nights, beginning and ending in Buenos Aires, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.

The pacing runs to 5 port days and 4 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.
